I am using Jenkins Job Generator Plugin to generate the job.

Scenario: Testing is a main project. After successful completion and whenever a developer updates the repository it invokes Jenkins Job Generator Project and this job is responsible for creating the child job.

So in this case i need to update the child job name. To this end I am trying to use a Jenkins environment variable like this:

Generated Job Name: PROJECT_NAME - "${SVN_REVISION}"

But after the execution of Jenkins Job Generator it's creating child job but name of job is like: PROJECT_NAME - "${SVN_REVISION}"

The Child job name is expected to be: Testing-8890

Can anyone tell me how to use environment variable in job configuration page?

Thank You

try with "printenv" and check all the environment variable available, this will help to get the proper name of the environment variable. – user_9090 Oct 09 '18 at 06:21

Fire only "printenv" in Build Section of your job configuration (select execute shell) or you can follow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37083285/how-to-list-all-env-properties-within-jenkins-pipeline-job – user_9090 Oct 09 '18 at 07:08
Is this a freestyle job or a pipeline job? – Andrew Gray Oct 11 '18 at 02:12
Job Type is Job Generator. – mady008 Oct 11 '18 at 05:46
